BTB Betting Pick
For the spread pick, consider taking the Heat +1.0 (-110). The Suns have a strong defense, allowing only 111.8 points per game, but the Heat’s offense scores 119.4 points per game. With the Heat’s higher scoring rate, they may cover the spread.
For the over/under pick, the under 230.5 (-110) seems reasonable. The Suns allow only 111.8 points per game, and the Heat’s defense gives up 117.7 points. The projected score suggests a total near 229, making the under a solid choice.
